US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that Washington may lift sanctions imposed on Turkeyduring the dispute over its detention of a US pastor, Al Jazeera reported.

"We'll have a decision on that shortly but some of the sanctions that were put in place were directly connected to Pastor Brunson and there's a logic to now removing those as well," Pompeo told reporters as his plane refuelled in Brussels, Belgium.
